What is the “Take the Pledge” Challenge?
The "Take the Pledge" Challenge is about building a culture where voting is something we're proud to talk about — not something we keep to ourselves. It’s simple: make a list of 10–20 people you know in Coos County — friends, family, coworkers — and when your ballot arrives, remind them to vote and let them know who we’re supporting.
In an election where only 29% of voters usually turn out, every single conversation matters. We can’t afford to be shy — if we aren’t even willing to talk to our own friends and family about voting, how much do we really care about who wins and loses? It starts with us. Let’s build a community where voting is something we celebrate and encourage — because when we vote, we win.
P.S: And if you get a lot of messages from locals reminding you to vote, don't get annoyed, be proud to be part of a community that cares about voting!
